DAS Plate Number Meaning: Dass, Bauchi
The DAS plate number is registered in Dass Local Government Area, Bauchi. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Dass, seat at Dass town, uses DAS. Around 89,943 residents were counted there in 2006 across 535 km² — about 168 to the square kilometre, and the least populous district in Bauchi. Its code is issued on the same terms as every other: one district, three letters.

What DAS Plates Look Like
Counted from the 12 DAS plates we hold. It describes what we have seen, not the vehicle register — and the colour is the paint on the car, which is a different question from the colour of the plate itself. What plate colours mean

What the DAS Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so DAS places the paperwork in Dass. It does not follow the car afterwards: a vehicle sold across state lines keeps its plate until it is re-registered, which is why a DAS plate away from Bauchi is a question for the seller rather than a finding in itself.
The letters also say nothing about the holder, the model or the history of the vehicle. Colours and special series are a separate system, explained on the code hub; what the car itself has been through — auction lots, damage, mileage at sale — is recorded against its VIN and travels with the car even when the plate changes.
